Title: Merry Christmas to me!!! ho ho ho
Post by: bazemk1979 on Tue, 24 December 2013, 16:48:37: Description Unit price Qty Amount:

Cherry MX Keycap Stabilizer Insert (2pcs)
Item# MXINSERTS $0.50 USD 8 $4.00 USD

WASD V2 104-Key Barebones Mechanical Keyboard
Item# WASD-V2-104BB-MXG $120.00 USD 1 $120.00 USD

Subtotal $124.00 USD
Shipping and handling $14.04 USD
Total $138.04 USD
Payment $138.04 USD

Check list:

- WASD V2 barebones MX Green + 16 pcs keycap stabilizer inserts = check
- Tai Hao madness = check
- USB to mini USB 7" + micro to mini short cable adapter = check
- Feeling sexy creating my first vomit board = double check!!!

Final conclusion:

- When comparing the WASD2 with my TrikX the quality difference is unexplainable, a night and day cant compare BUT!!! None the less the WASD V2 is gorgeous board, feels sturdy, heavy enough for plastic mainstream board ( although I think it feels somewhat lighter than my previous Rosewill 104 board, not sure though) There is a very minimal flex on the casing on bottom left and right side of the board but the flex is so minimal you really have to look for it to notice it.

Now for the green switches, I'm seriously in love with the green switches, reminds so much like the Model M but they are much different in sound ( less noisy), not as snappy, less resisting than the Model M. but over all as my first impression I like them very much so, gonna game with them a lil bit tonight.

Personal opinion, this board + the Taio Hao as I imagined on it, + the feel of the switches = is a keeper big time.

Post by: eth0s on Tue, 24 December 2013, 17:04:51: Well, you could go real classy with Black keys, RGB modifiers, and Blue gamer WASD and Arrows cluster.

But, then again, you could also go full-on Las Vegas bordello.

Post by: bazemk1979 on Tue, 24 December 2013, 17:14:20: it will be semi Las Vegas bordello, will post some pics of it with a review of the board since no one has a review of the barebones with greens

Damn, I really like that style of cable, the detachable part is genius.
Title: Re: Merry Christmas to me!!! ho ho ho
Post by: rowdy on Wed, 25 December 2013, 04:27:03: There have been a few use cases for a short detachable cable recently.

Perhaps this will become a mainstream item.
Title: Re: Merry Christmas to me!!! ho ho ho
Post by: bazemk1979 on Wed, 25 December 2013, 10:30:11: I went with the detachable cable because the board has micro USB, wanted to be able to use the 7" cable with my Korean board if GMK Handerbeit ever happened.

Title: Re: Merry Christmas to me!!! ho ho ho
Post by: rowdy on Mon, 06 January 2014, 22:28:09: I like my QFS with MX greens - the greens seem lighter than the Model M.

Nice Tai Hao pattern too - I am still trying to decide what pattern to make with mine.
